For his first English-language film, Korean master Park
Chan-wook (Old Boy, Joint Security Area ) has crafted a
haunting neo-Gothic thriller filled with unforgettable images
and thrilling performances by three of Australia’s finest
actresses. When India Stoker (Jane Eyre’s Mia Wasikowska)
loses her father (Dermot Mulroney) in a car accident, her
seemingly idyllic life is shattered. After long-lost uncle
Charlie (Matthew Goode) arrives and moves in with India
and her unstable mother Evie (Nicole Kidman), things begin
to turn strange. Despite the arrival of a kindly aunt (Jacki
Weaver), who warns of impending disaster, we watch this
dysfunctional family slowly unravel. In a story dripping with
atmosphere, brooding menace, teenage angst and budding
sexuality, a shocking climax seems inevitable. Revered for
his provocative and stylish films, Park has created a
visually astonishing and terrifying feature that nods to
Hitchcock and other suspense masters.

Director, Screenwriter: Nat Faxon, Jim Rash | Producers: Tom Rice, Kevin
Walsh | Cast: Liam James, Toni Collette, Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell |
Distributor: Hoyts Distribution
Funny, smart and uplifting, The Way, Way Back is a
well-crafted coming-of-age comedy with winning
performances by a stellar cast. Fourteen-year-old Duncan
(Liam James) is forced to spend the summer vacation with
his mother Pam (Toni Collette), her condescending
boyfriend Trent (Steve Carell) and his mean-girl daughter.
Constantly humiliated, Duncan struggles until he meets
Owen (Sam Rockwell, in arguably his best performance),
the manager of a somewhat disheveled Water Wizz water
park. Rebellious, relaxed, and very funny, Owen pokes fun
at Duncan, but at the same time gives him the confidence
to stand up for himself and find his place in the world.
Directors Jim Rash and Nat Faxon are the Oscar®-winning
writers of The Descendents and both accomplished actors
themselves – Rash in Community and Faxon in Ben and
Kate. Here they have made a heartwarming, inspiring and
hilarious film.

Nine years have passed since Jesse and Celine’s brief
Viennese connection. Jesse, now a successful writer, is in
Paris to promote his novel, inspired by that original
encounter. To his surprise, Celine is at the reading. She
hasn’t forgotten him, either. Over an afternoon walking the
sun-drenched Parisian streets, they reminisce, catch up
and realise the attraction is still very much there. Is one
afternoon enough to find out if they belong together? The
dialogue, written this time by Hawke and Delpy themselves,
is just as insightful. Jesse and Celine are more experienced
and have more to lose, adding depth to characters we’ve
come to know and love. Thanks to the actors’ precise yet
natural performances, Before Sunset’s thoughtful stroll
through the world’s most romantic city is charged with sly
humour, profound discussions and erotic longing.

A young American traveling through Europe (Ethan Hawke)
meets a French woman (Julie Delpy) on an Austrian train.
They spontaneously decide to jump out as the train is
about to leave the station. They have a single night to
share, which they spend walking around Vienna getting to
know each other. Aware their time together is finite, they
reveal more about themselves than they would normally to
a stranger. It’s the honesty and realism of this dialogue that
makes Before Sunrise so relatable, drawing a perceptive
parallel between walking the streets of a foreign city and
meeting someone special for the first time. Fleeting
romantic connections are a staple of fiction, but in Richard
Linklater’s charming two-hander, the encounter between
Jesse and Celine feels as fresh and new as the feelings
they discover in each other.

The winning collaboration between Richard Linklater, Julie
Delpy and Ethan Hawke has charmed audiences for close
to two decades now, and Before Midnight makes for a
glorious finale to this most unique of trilogies. There’s a
great sense that we know these characters so well, as
though they are friends, so it is a pleasure to rejoin Celine
and Jesse nine years after we last met them. The couple
are now in their early forties and holidaying in Greece when
we catch up with them. Older, perhaps wiser and entering
into a new phase of their life, Celine and Jesse continue
the long discussion that is their life, this time with a more
argumentative tone. With the onscreen chemistry between
Hawke and Delpy as palpable as ever, and with witty,
authentic dialogue, Before Midnight is a treasure.
